I like the ADU guns in the Alien Conquest sets, but they need some work to be really amazing. I'm using the ADU minis as the Akkan Dosh Unity, a group of fanatics who are ideologically bound to the idea of galactic unity as the panacea to all the things that they dislike (they especially hate non-standard minifigs, such as the various aliens, technic giants, and the like). They claim universal authority because of their so-called "higher ideals" that they serve, and reject any attempts to unite people except under their aegis. Naturally this makes them hostile to just about every other faction in the Brikverse. Their front line troops wear ADU-blue armored vacuum suits, while their support corps generally wear white.

I whipped up a little story showing how I like to change up the guns. I've only got three blue ADU troops and one white, but they'll have to do for now. I don't know if I'll expand them later.

Commissar M. Sue: All right, you two, we're here to see what the techies have come up with to improve our firepower. The disaster that was Operation Cobalt will not be repeated.

Trooper Kagney: Yes ma'am!

Trooper Winch: Yes ma'am!

Sue: Ah! Here he comes now. Pay attention. I expect you to be able to pass on what he shows us here to the rest of your company. I want to get this detachment combat ready ASAP.

Probably, unless they could connive some way to seize control. They value uniformity and order, though, so I'm not sure how well they'd mesh with the AN. They lack the patience to bring about conformity slowly.
